Common Murder
Synopsis:
A protest group hits the headlines when unrest
at a women's peace camp explodes into murder. Already on the scene,
journalist Lindsay Gordon desperately tries to strike a balance
between personal and professional responsibilities. As she peels
back the layers of deception surrounding the protest and its opponents,
she finds that no one -- ratepayer or reporter, policeman or peace
woman -- seems wholly above suspicion. Then Lindsay uncovers a truth
that even she can scarcely believe.
